Notes

The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at moderate elevations (Alt. 600 - 1000m) and is frequently found around bamboo forests.
Ek-Amnuay,[2007],2012 recorded it from 'Chiang Mai', but this is considered erroneous location. It has never been found in Chiang Mai province until now. There is a male specimen from 'Vang Vieng, Laos', but I cannot exclude the possibility of wrong labelled. Therefore, until a reliable specimen is rediscovered, I treat it as a reference record.
